Seraincourt (Val-d'Oise) walks

This walk will take you along streams and through countryside, valleys and paths to discover the heritage of three charming villages. Beautiful views are also on the menu for this walk.

This is a route for walkers who enjoy charming, forgotten little paths that make you forget you’re only 50 km from Paris; however, the route is sometimes unclear, requiring careful attention (Visorando app recommended). These paths are not always regularly maintained: bare legs are not recommended.

At the southern edge of the French Vexin, a loop that starts along the Montcient river, with the old Moulin Brûlé, and then alternates between ascents and descents in the woods or between fields.

In the southern French Vexin region, this circuit takes you through fields and woods, playing leapfrog with the River Montcient. The Cave aux Fées, a covered passage dating from 2500 BC, bears witness to ancient human occupation. A dovecote, an old water mill and several wash houses are also worth seeing.

A loop starting from the National Scout Centre in Jambville. The very hilly route is marked in yellow.

Hike through the fields and woods near Oinville-sur-Montcient. There are a few hills during this walk.

A hike in the heart of the Vexin Regional Nature Park.

This walk retraces the Battle of Vexin at the end of August 1944 thanks to the numerous explanatory panels placed along the route.

This mainly forest hike will take you to the Galluis Regional Forest, then on to the village of Frémainville, where you will discover some interesting heritage sites. It is best to do this walk during the dry season.

Starting from the charming village of Brueil en Vexin, you will pass La Cave aux Fées, a Neolithic burial site dating from around 2000 BCE. Then, through a varied, hilly landscape, you will discover a few hamlets and a village with its wash house and old bridge.

A water-themed hike: from the meanders of the Aubette to the springs that enliven the Vexin region.

A long hike from station to station that veers away from the Seine Valley (which is not particularly suitable for hiking in this area) and climbs to higher ground. The route alternates between wooded sections and stretches through fields with sweeping views. There is a wealth of heritage to discover, with two beautiful Romanesque churches in the first part and, towards the end and as a grand finale, the Gothic Collegiate Church of Mantes-la-Jolie.

This walk can be started from Meulan-Hardricourt station and follows marked paths for a good part of the way, even if they are not always easy to identify, particularly the access tothe GR® 2. During this walk, you can see the church of Hardricourt, pass through fields, see La Défense, enjoy the undergrowth, admire the pretty village of Mézy-sur-Seine and, if you are feeling adventurous, dip your feet in the water (in summer) and enjoy the banks of the Seine. Please note that in cold weather, some sections of the forest may be muddy and difficult to walk on.

Starting from the banks of the Seine opposite Île Verte, walk up the narrow streets and paths to Villa Paul Poiret.

Half urban, half rural route to discover old Meulan-en-Yvelines and the views over the Aubette and Seine valleys.

This short, undulating walk will take you through woods, fields and meadows to discover two charming villages in the French Vexin and their heritage attractions. Peace and tranquillity await!

A short hike in the rolling landscape of the French Vexin, among woods, fields and meadows that are home to many horses.

A lovely walk along the banks of the Seine, passing through pretty villages such as Evecquemont. The starting point and finishing point are two stations on the same SNCF line.

A walk around Juziers that allows you to discover its heritage, a panoramic view of the valley and a pleasant return trip along a towpath on the banks of the Seine.

During this varied, hilly hike, you will discover three small villages as you stroll along narrow streets and paths. You will walk along a few hillside and woodland trails, discover beautiful viewpoints and stroll along the Seine on your return.

Circular route from Juziers station, alternating between farmland and forests. Several interesting churches (unfortunately often closed), beautiful wash houses, a fountain with its statue still intact. And of course, the beautiful covered walkway of the Mare aux Fées, which is well worth a detour.

The walk begins with a very varied section of the GRP® "Impressionist Seine" trail, starting with the imposing ESA Ariane rocket factory and its loading dock, a charming marina, the Val de Seine leisure island, and several large ponds. It continues with Triel-sur-Seine, its pleasant Parc Senet, and its Église St-Martin with its complex architecture. The crossing of the Bois d'Hautil via easy but unspoilt paths is worth the detour for its chestnut forests dotted with a few beautiful oak trees and pierced by a large number of chasms resulting from the collapse of underground quarries. The walk ends peacefully as you admire the confluence of the Oise and the Seine.

A loop starting from Vigny via Théméricourt and Avernes.

A circular route in the French Vexin, mainly through fields. Starting from the church in Vigny, the route passes through the villages of Sagy and Longuesse, each with their own church.
